Webhook Retry
What is Webhook Retry?
A webhook retry is a mechanism where an API provider attempts to resend a webhook notification if the initial delivery fails. This usually happens when the recipient’s server is down or returns an error status code.
Why It Matters
-
It ensures that critical event notifications are eventually delivered, even during temporary outages.
-
Retry logic prevents data inconsistencies between the API provider and the client’s system.
-
It reduces the need for manual intervention and reconciliation when network issues occur.
